Stars' Biggest Free Agent Flops
August 31st, 2017 The Dallas Stars were busy this summer signing arguably the two best unrestricted free agent forwards on the market to multi-year contracts. First, they signed mountainous Martin Hanzal to a three-year deal worth $14.25 million. The 30-year-old Czech native is 6 foot 6...
A Look at My All-Time Dallas Stars Team Canada Roster

The 3 Worst Trades in Dallas Stars History
February 25th, 2016 The NHL Trade Deadline (Feb 29th 3PM ET) is now just a few days away. Will the Stars be active participants or will they sit this one out? Time will tell. Since taking over as general manager in 2013, pretty much everything Jim Nill has touched has turned to gold. While...
Dallas Stars the NHL's Best All-Time USA Roster?
February 22nd, 2016 Hockey Day in America got me thinking, what would an All-Time Dallas Stars USA roster look like? Guess what? It just might be the best All-Time USA lineup an NHL franchise could put together. The 2015-16 Stars roster only has two U.S. players (Patrick Eaves and Alex...
Revisiting the Stars Erik Cole Trade Nearly a Year Later
February 14th, 2016 Just over a year ago, the NHL Trade Deadline was pretty quiet for the Dallas Stars. They were fighting desperately to stay in the playoff race. Therefore, it was a bit of let down when the Stars didn't acquire any immediate help. Instead they traded a reliable veteran...

The Dallas Stars Franchise Four
September 3rd, 2015 The Franchise Four. The Mount Rushmore. Four players who tell the story of an organization. In this series I’ll be taking a look at the history of all 30 NHL squads. For criteria, I’m choosing one forward, defenceman, goaltender and a wild card from any...
No Man Is an Island, Not Even Jim Nill
September 2nd, 2015 "No man is an island," wrote John Donne. Jim Nill would probably agree with the poet. The Dallas Stars GM's deals in each of the last three summers have been blockbusters, but no trade occurs in a vacuum. First, it takes two to tango; a general manager needs a willing...
